Accused bikini brawlers arrested after assault video surfaces online
Video of a vicious attack by a group of three bikini-clad women has led to three arrests in the US.
Arlinda Craft, 18, Anns Leigh Hill, 19, and Megan Williams, 20, are accused of beating a 20-year-old girl unconscious in an attack that left the victim with cuts, a broken nose and a concussion.
The victim provided the video of the assault to authorities and it is now being credited with helping to arrest her alleged attackers.
The confronting video shows three women punching the victim in the face several times as she lays curled in a ball on the ground at Saluda River in South Carolina on March 15.
The victim appears unresponsive during most of the clip, however, bystanders can be heard talking about breaking up the attack before finally stepping in.
The State reports the woman was drinking with co-workers when she was attacked by the group on the river bank.
Williams allegedly approached the group and demanded to know why they had been talking about her before the assault.
“No one defended me, out of the 30 people that were hanging around - which is really pathetic in my eyes,” the victim said.
The three arrested women have been charged with second degree assault.
It is not the first time Craft, 18, has made the news over violent assaults caught on video.
Craft pleaded guilty to assaulting a 17-year-old in November after becoming angry that the teenager had commented on her boyfriend’s Instagram posts.
